I really cannot understand -- and maybe I'm losing patience with -- people who say that they respect the individuals who work the front lines for the TSA but not its mission. This is internally contradictory. People who would work for an agency with such a befuddled mission and incompetent execution do not deserve our respect. I would respect them much much more if they just quit. I can't believe that the articulate TSA employees who post here (and many of them military veterans besides) can't find real jobs.
